US futures are on the rise again following a positive after-market update from Meta (Facebook). S&P 500 futures +0.24%. Nasdaq futures +0.52%.

Back here, the ASX 200 slid 0.43% to a two-week low. The miners had some company in the dog house after a few sessions on their lonesome. Healthcare and consumer discretionary were amongst the bigger drags, alongside energy and REITs.

Personal trading: Pip from UNT off the low. My trial run paper trading an alternative approach is still going well on Day 2. So well that I might give up real trading and just paper trade from now on. It's a lot less stressful. Oh wait. My wife has pointed out we need money. Damn.
